This sounds kind of boring but it’s actually really well done (it can’t be nasty movies all the time). ;-) On my favorite radio show, This American Life, they just did an episode on the current financial mess that’s very enlightening and scary. They also have one of their most popular episodes ever, back in May, also about the economy and the mortgage / credit crisis – much more interesting than it sounds. You can listen to them for free online, just click on the little orange “full episode” icon, below the pictures.
